Knowing God - Afraid? He WILL Come

Isa 35:4

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.


Here, a fearful person is being addressed.  The fearful are being told that they can be strong and not fear.  Why?  Because God will come.  God will come with two things and come and do something. 

He WILL come with a vengeance.  He WILL come with recompense.  He WILL come and save you.  God WILL come with a passion to protect you and stand up for you.  God WILL come with those consequences and inevitable outcomes that He has written into His eternal law.  He WILL come and save you.  God WILL come into those situations that produce fear in our hearts.  We can be strong and not fear BEFORE this happens knowing He will come and do these things.


Our strength and lack of fear is to be rooted in the strong commitment of our God TO us and NOT in seeing or experiencing the deliverance.  The promise, alone, will give us strength and awaken us to courage and stamina in our fearful circumstances.  He will come.  Be strong and fear not!
